This invention relates to an improved flow-off and overflow device forbathing tubs, and its novelty consists in the arrangement thereon of anintegral water seal main body comprising a lateral branch foritsattachment to a waste pipe and so constructed that said branch can belocated to direct either to the left side or to the right side of saidbathing tub.

The accompanying drawing illustrates a constructional form of thesubject matter of the invention: Figs. 1 and 2 are respectively afragmentary side view and end view of a bathing tub fitted with theimproved arrangement.

The water seal main body a has an internal partition wall in a way knownin the art and comprises a screw-threaded lateral branch I) for itsattachment to a waste pipe (not shown), it being arranged at rightangles to the axis of the flow-off pipe d of the bathing tub, while itis further fitted at its lower end with a screw-threaded front branch 0for the reception of a cleaning screw w and with a screw-threaded rearbranch 0 for its being joined to the flow-ofl pipe (Z, said two latterbranches having equal Serial No. 712,907.

In a flow-off and overflow device for bathing tubs: the combination witha flow-off pipe and an overflow pipe both attached to the bathing tub,of an integral water seal main body arranged at right angles to the axisof said flow-off pipe and comprising a screw-threaded lateral branch anda screwthreaded upper branch for its attachment to a waste pipe and tosaid. overflow pipe respectively and an equally screw-threaded front andrear branch at its lower end both lying in line with said flow-0H pipe,either of said two latter branches being joined with said flow-off pipe,and a detachable cleaning screw on the other free branch, substantiallyas and for the purpose set forth.
